Hello everybody and welcome to Chapter 20 and of course, a new year of 2017! I wonder how much longer ARC-V will continue sine we do have glimpses of the next Protagonist and apparently, it's with hover boards this time, but I also wonder what Summoning method they'll showcase, so far we had Synchro of adding levels together, Xyz by using two of the same Level and the Pendulum Monster for an all-out Special Summon and can be revived from Extra Deck.

Also, Dark Side of Dimensions is being released worldwide in cinemas as in February and I assure you, I'm certainly going to my local cinema to see the aftermath of the original show and the new monsters that came from the booster packs.

Anyway, let's answer some Reviews and get on with the plot.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

So good duel between Haruto and Yuya and wow the original character lost to the main character. I thought Haruto was going to win but thank God that was not the case. So great way to end off 2016 and can't wait for what 2017 has in store for this fanfic.

Hey even Originals have to lose at some time, if they kept winning each time, either they'll get stale or become too predictable, besides, I always intended that Haruto would lose since the Duel in the finals always gives me shivers, plus it's also part of Yuya's development as the main character, can't deny him that!

Pretty fast

When you get Reviews and such positive comments, it helps motivate the author to write up the next Chapter, I'll be honest, I never thought I'd reach Chapter 20 at this stage and expected to lose interest after a bit of time passed but with the Reviews, it kept me motivated and in turn gets me excited to type it down.

dang oh well i thought haruto would win but then again i had a feeling this would happen all in all great chapter looking forward to the next chapter

It's a learning curve, if Haruto won every Duel he partaken in, they'll be as people say, a 'Mary-Sue' or such, but there's also a lesson in defeat which I know all too well during my time as a Duelist, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, it happens.

Quite an epic duel, nice to see Red eyes darkness finally utilised here. Wonder how Haruto and Yuya will handle Academia, also with the inevitable return of Zarc later on.

I'll be honest here, I was torn between Summoning Falling Meteor Black Dragon or Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon but the way I made the decision was simple, we already witnessed a Synchro and Xyz Summon against Kurosaki and as Haruto says, he likes to show even the old generation of cards can still keep up with the newer ones and to those who do ask where is the other Red-Eyes Fusion, be patient and wait.

Keep up the good work I like it

The positive comments keep me going!

Okay now that we answered the Reviews, let's get down to business!


Last time on Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Red Eyes! The first round of the Semi-Finals begins earlier than expected and it's two friends against each other, Haruto and Yuya, as the two meet up, Yuya tells Haruto about the situation that Jean Michel Roger who is in charge of Security is actually from the Academia and pushing to gain control of the City as well as holding the Council and Reiji's group prisoner, the two devise a plan to try and help them but a strange event occurs with Yuya who suddenly becomes aggressive out of the blue, Haruto does his best to try and stay alive and almost comes close to death with the sudden power outage in the City but thanks to Red-Eyes and Solid Vision, eh escapes it as he learns from Sora, Yuya wasn't in his right state of mind as well as the Academia had begun their infiltration of the Synchro Dimensions, putting all of his power into Red-Eyes, he manages to break Yuya out of his aggressive state and as soon as the two enter the Duel Palace, the two ride off on Yuya's Runner to locate Serena, can they find her in time?


I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V or any of its characters, be they existing or appearing in future episodes, I do own any of the cards of the Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game when having purchased said cards from booster packs or structure decks, I do not own any of the Openings of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V be they existing or in future episodes, if I did own any of these things, I'd probably suck at advancing the plot, I only own my OC, Haruto. I also don't own any OC Submitted cards as they rightfully belong to their original owners.

The Duel Runner. By using the new Duel Disk technology brought about by these machines, Turbo Duels became the greatest show of speed and thrill, as well as the symbol of freedom!

[Play Yu-Gi-Oh Opening 4, Trump Card]

Saa ima da, kazase yo kirifuda. Kono mirai wa kimi no mono sa!
(Now is the time, hold up your trump card. This future is yours to take!)

A bright flash of light shone and from it, many cards were whizzing by as Haruto was wearing a black helmet with a red visor over his eyes as he grabbed a card as the camera moved forward, revealing him to be wearing a riding suit of pure black with red stripes on the legs and arms and he played the card on the Duel Runner that was obscured from view before the title screen appeared.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Red-Eyes

Giragira moeteru. Samenai yume demo miteiru yō ni.
(Burning bright. Like you're still watching an unending dream.)

Yuya was shown putting his deck into a machine as it auto shuffled it and Yuya went to pick up his helmet that has his goggles on, when he was in proper view, he was revealed to be also wearing a Riding Suit as he had a Duel Runner nearby and the area was crowded with audience members

Karada ga motomeru. Tsuyoi yatsu ga iru basho wo.
(Your body yearns for it. A place where those who are strong are.)

Yuzu was picking up her helmet and looked out as Serena was brushing any dust off her Runner, both wearing Riding Suits, Yuzu in pink and white with a Pink Duel Runner while Serena had a dark red/blue combination as her Runner was purple.

Kurakura yureteru. Tashika na mono nado koko ni wa nai kara
(Shaky, wavering. What you're looking for is nowhere to be found.)

Kurosaki was putting his gloves on wearing a navy green riding suit as he clenched his fist.

Tada tada motomeru. Chikara no afureru basho wo.
(But you're still seeking it. A place overwhelming with power.)

Yugo was sitting as looking at models posing for pictures while drinking from a water bottle, almost as if he was trying to look under their skirts in a annoyed look under but then Yuzu immediately jumped by with her paper fan and made a swipe before jumping to the other side of the camera, out of view as Yugo looked befuddled at what just happened as the models looked behind them.

Tsugi no tatakai ga boku wo matteru.
(The next battle is waiting for me.)

Haruto was sitting in a chair, his Deck and Helmet on a table as he leant forward, hands clasped together, his elbows on his knees as he looked contemplative as the scene changed to Roger, Akaba Leo and Obelisk Force with the Council of the City.

Atarashii hibi no aizu ga kikoeru.
(I can hear the sign of new days coming.)

Yuri transitions the scene as he made a wide gesture as Yuya, Yugo, Yuto, Yugo, Yuzu, Serena, Rin and Ruri posed.

Saa ima da, kazase yo kirifuda. Kono mirai wa kimi no mono sa!
(Now is the time, hold up your trump card. This future is yours to take!)

A countdown timer appeared counting down from 3 seconds and Duel Runner wheels sparked as Haruto played a card, calling forth Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, and Red-Eyes Spirit Dragon with Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon behind him as Maiden with Eyes of Red was flying beside him then Yuya summoned forth Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon with Timesword Magician and Tuning Magician with the scene changing to Yugo summoning Clear Wing Synchro Dragon.

Sono egao de sekai wo yuraseba sono ato wa jibun shidai da yo.
(Whether your smile can shake this world is all up to you.)

Kurosaki plays a card as he Xyz Summons Raid Raptor - Satellite Falcon as the monster was shown to be in outer space, the scene changing to Yuzu and Serena both Fusion Summoning and back to back as they rotated then Bloom Diva and Moonlight Leo Panther appeared out of the Fusion Vortex and out from a wall of fire, Red Dragon Archfiend Scaright flown out with Jack on his Duel Runner

Egakidase, sono monogatari wo. Kimi koso ga shujinkō darō?
(Write a new chapter in this story. After all, aren't you the hero?)

Haruto was riding his Duel Runner as he summoned forth Red-Eyes Metal Flare Dragon and Yuya alongside him as he summoned Enlightenment Paladin a brief moment before Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon took up the space that as the two of the Dragons soon clashed, creating sparks before a before the scene changed to Haruto, Yuya, Yuzu, Serena, Kurosaki, Yugo as Haruto standing as confetti was raining down in the Duel Stadium.


Chapter 20
Invasion! Obelisk Force!

-Streets-

Yuya drove along a deserted street with Haruto holding onto him from behind as Yuya noticed something and turned a corner, seeing the hang-gliders that the Obelisk Force was using to fly into the City. "The Obelisk Force! So Academia is in this Dimension already?" Yuya asked as Haruto spoke. "Yuzu and Serena are in danger, let's hurry!" Haruto added.

"Yeah, we got to find Sora!" Yuya agreed and accelerated once more until they saw a big red flare. "That's-" Yuya started to say and Haruto finished it. "There! Hurry!" Haruto said

-Abandoned Building-

Hearing the noises of a battle, Yuya accelerated through a passageway and from it the two saw Reira looking exhausted and Serena as they landed nearby with three Obelisk Force members closing in. "Reira!" Yuya said as the Runner soon came to a stop and Reira gave a relieved expression before taking a stance. "I won't let you have Serena!"

Haruto got off and as did Yuya. "Leave it to us, Reira! Let's go, Yuya!" Haruto said and Yuya nodded, the two of their Duel Disks activating

In an unspecified number of turns, Yuya summoned Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and Enlightenment Paladin as Haruto summoned Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Archfiend Black Skull Dragon. As the two spoke. "Battle!" Yuya called out and Haruto added his own declaration. "Attack the Obelisk Force!"

The four Dragons let loose their fiery breathes while Enlightenment Paladin slashed with a energy blade attack, sending the three Obelisk Force Members flying onto the ground before they disappeared in a flash of blue light.

Yuya turned to the panting Reira as Yuya spoke in concern. "Reira!" who sounded like he was having a attack. "I won't... let you have Serena...!" as Yuya hugged the young boy. "Reira, calm calm, calm down." Yuya said as Haruto walked over to Serena who sat upright, looking exhausted. "You okay, Serena?" Haruto knelt down in front of her.

"Just... weakened from some nerve gas, that's all Haruto." Serena said to him and Haruto looked to her. "Why are you here though?" Haruto asked her.

"I was captured by Security... and he came to save me." Serena said, looking to Reira. "Then he was fighting off the Obelisk Force... all on his own. You did great" Serena praised Reira.

"Amazing, well done, Reira." Yuya said until footsteps were heard and three more Obelisk Force members came down with smirks before standing to the side as older man descended down the steps, wearing a military outfit and had an eyepatch over his left eye "You're... Barrett!" Serena said, recognizing the man.

"It has been a while, Serena." Barrett said and Serena's posture turned more tense. "You're here to take me back?! Piss off! I won't go back!" Serena stated as Barrett begun to approach her buy Yuya remained was in his path as Haruto stood up.

"Move." Barrett said and Yuya spoke. "I won't let you have Serena!" Yuya said and Barrett responded. "My name is Barrett. I will be taking Serena back to the Academia."

"I- no we won't allow that to happen!" Haruto said and Barrett eyed the two boys. "You intend to get in my way? Then I will defeat you!" Barrett's Duel Disk activated as did Yuya's

"DUEL!"

Barrett: 4000
Yuya: 4000

"First strike takes the advantage! My turn! I activate the Continuous Spell, Beastborg Polymerizer! Once per turn, I can Fusion Summon a 'Beastborg' monster!. I fuse Panther Warrior with Dark Sentinel!"

Two cards appeared before they changed shape to reveal the Panther Warrior, a humanoid Panther wielding a scimitar and wearing a rather elaborate armour with a green cape and a shield while the other was a mechanical kind of bi-plane as the two entered the swirling vortex.

"Ferocious black panther and guardian of sacred darkness. Merge as one and let forth your valiant roar! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 6! Beastborg Panther Preadator!"

From the vortex appeared was half was Panther Warrior wielding it's sword with the other half was completely mechanized with the left side being dark green with a metal wing.

Beastborg Panther Preadator (LV6/1600/2000)

"I activate Panther Predator's effect! Once per turn, I can deal damage to my opponent equal to half the ATK of Panther Predator!" Barrett declared as Panther Preadator raised it's arms and from the red part which is supposedly over it's heart, fired a red beam do energy that pushed Yuya back with 800 damage.

"I set two cards and end my turn." Barrett stated as two face down cards appeared behind Panther Predator.

Barrett: 4000
Yuya: 3200

"Serena, I swore to the Professor... that I would definitely bring you back." Barrett said as Serena answered with her usual tone. "I told you I'm not going back!"

"You previously wanted to stand on the front lines as a Duelist Warrior, if you return with me, I will personally ask the Professor to grant that wish." Barrett said as Serena answered. "I... learned the truth... what the Academia has actually done! I don't want to be an underling of the Devil!"

"It's all right, I'll defeat the Academia! My turn!" Yuya drawn his card and looked at it, surprised at what eh drawn before looking back at Reira, Haruto and Serena as he spoke. "I, using the Scale 3 Creation Magician and the Scale 8, Destruction Magician, I set the Pendulum Scale! With this, I'm able to simultaneously Summon Monsters from Levels 4 to 7! Sway, Pendulum of my Soul! Draw an arc of light across the aether! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my monsters!"

Two pillars of light appeared and a magician draped in white and blue wielding what appeared to be doubled bladed sword with a shield connecting the two blades, and a robed sorcerer garbed in pink and white and only her left eye showing as the numbers 3 and 8 appeared respectively underneath while in the sky was an enlarged version of Yuya's Pendulum before it swayed back and forth, eventually making a circular motion as three lights shot forth.

"Level 4! Performapal Salutiger! Level 4! Performapal Silver Claw and finally, Level 7! odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!" Yuya called out as a humanoid tiger dressed in attire similar to a ceremonial soldier appeared and the familiar Silver Claw and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared.

Performapal Salutiger (LV 4/1700/500)
Performapal Silver Claw (LV 4/1800/700)
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (LV 7/2500/2000)

"I activate my Continuous Trap! Beastborg Medal of the iron Chain! With this card's effect, as long as I control a 'Beastborg' monster., the monsters my opponent Special Summons just now cannot attack and they cannot change their battle position!" Barrett countered and Yuya was surprised. "What?! Then-!"

"Yes, as long as I control a Beastborg monster, your monsters cannot do anything!" Barrett declared as iron chains bound Yuya's monsters. "Monsters nuder the effect of Beastborg Medal of the Iron Chain cannot be destroyed in battle and if I do not control a 'Beastborg' monster, this card is destroyed..." Yuya looked up at his bound monsters as Reira took a shaky step towards Yuya.

"Yuya... I can... still fight!" Reira said as Yuya looked behind at the him." Reira, you don't have to!" as Reira was losing his balance and Barrett motioned for the Obelisk Force to continue.

Haruto activated his Duel Disk as Reira seemed to be having a panic attack. "Haru... to..." Serena said and Haruto spoke. "Reira, get back with Serena! Yuya, I'll handle this!" Haruto said as the three Obelisk Force activated their Disks as well.

"Field Spell: Cross Over." Haruto's Duel Disk said before the four of them spoke in unison.

"DUEL!"

Obelisk Force Red: 4000
Obelisk Force Yellow: 4000
Obelisk Force Green: 4000
Haruto: 4000

"I'll go first. " Red spoke and picked a card from his hand. "I summon Ancient Gear Hound Dog from my hand." Red placed the card on his Disk as a mechanical dog appeared that was a staple in every Obelisk Force deck.

Ancient Gear Hound Dog (LV 3/1000/1000)

"I set one card and end my turn." Red stated as Haruto put two finger son his deck. "Then my turn, Draw!" Haruto drawn his card and looked at his hand of six.

""I activate One For One, I discard one Monster card from my hand to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my Deck, come forth, Black Stone of Legend!" Haruto declared as the familiar big darkish red stone appeared in front of him.

The Black Stone of Legend (LV 1/0/0)

"I activate Black Stone of Legend's effect, by releasing this Monster, I can Special Summon a 'Red-Eyes' monster that's Level 7 or lower! Appear before me, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Haruto called out the Black Stone glowed in a flash of light before Haruto's signature Dragon appeared above him.

Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon (LV 7/2400/2000)

"I Normal Summon Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon to treat him as a Gemini Monster! Battle! Red-Eyes attacks your Hound Dog! Go! Inferno Flare Blast!" Haruto declared as Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon shot a fireball. "I activate the Continuous Trap, Fusion Trench, with this card, only Fusion monsters can attack!" Red countered as the fireball slammed into a rainbow coloured wall.

"...I set two cards and end my turn." Haruto stated, his hand at 2 with a disappointed expression before looking to Yuya's Duel He had summoned Dark Rebellion Xyza Dragon but the two Dragon's he controlled were bound in chains.

"Now you can no longer attack. We'll crush you on our turn!" Green said confidently, clenching his hand before drawing. "My turn! I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization from my hand! I fuse three Ancient Gear Hound Dog's in my hand!"

"Mechanical hounds who carry on the ancient spirits, flock together and become one with a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Ancient Gear Triple-Bite Hound-Dog!"

The familiar three headed mechanical beast appeared with it's hollow growling as well as it's power

Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog (LV 7/1800/1000)

"I activate Fusion Trench's effect, while a player only controls Fusion Summoned monsters, they can make one direct attack with a monster they control! Battle! I attack directly with Ancient Gear Triple bite Hound Dog! When this card declares an attack, my opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap cards until the end of the Damage Step!"" Green declared

"What!?" Haruto said as the monster let loose three fire beams as Serena looked at the Duel. "Look out..." Serena warned him in worry as Haruto crossed his arms, the attacks missed him and went through the windows as his LP decreased. "I end my turn." Green stated.

Obelisk Force Red: 4000
Obelisk Force Yellow: 4000
Obelisk Force Green: 4000
Haruto: 2200

"Stop! Don't you dare hurt Haruto and Reira!" Yuya called out, he too was bound by chains as Barrett spoke. "Your opponent is me!" as Reira was panting. "Back then... I fought and...defeated... Security! SO... This time too...!" Reira said as Haruto interrupted him. "Calm down Reira and rest! I swear I won't let your efforts go to waste, I'll protect Serena with all I have!" Haruto said in concern before his attention was drawn to Seena's tired out voice.

"That's enough... You've done enough!" Serena said and fallen tot he floor as Haruto turned around and went over to her. "You've fought enough! You protected me... " Serena said as she struggled to push herself up. "I can't let you or Haruto or Yuya get hurt for my sake... any more!" as Haruto helped her to lean against the bench of the abandoned subway. "I will fight too! I will protect myself!"

"How about you give us Serena before you become a card?" Yellow asked and Haruto spoke, facing them. "Not going to happen."

"Fine then. We'll just beat you and take her, my turn." Yellow drawn his card and continued. "I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization! I fuse three Ancient Gear Hound Dogs to create Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog!"

The previous scenario occurred as there was now a duplicate of Green's previous summon.

Ancient Gear Triple Bite Hound Dog (LV 7/1800/1000)

"It's a repeat of the previous turn, as they say, history repeats itself, I attack directly with Fusion Trench's effect!" green stated as The new monster let loose the same attack and Haruto was blown back, slamming into the concrete wall. "Urgh!" Haruto managed to say as his LP decreased further. "With this, I end my turn." Green finished.

Obelisk Force Red: 4000
Obelisk Force Yellow: 4000
Obelisk Force Green: 4000
Haruto: 400

"I'll let you know, Ancient Gear Hound Dog has an effect that deals 600 damage if the player controls a monster, you only have a mere 400 LP remaining, so that means it's over for you in my turn, now let me ask you again, will you become a card and give us Serena?" Red asked as Haruto stood himself up.

"I'll never hand Serena over to you! She's someone I'll never give up on!" Haruto answered defiantly as Serena looked at the back of him. "Haruto...!" Serena said as Red spoke. "Fine then, then we'll move you aside! My turn!" Red drawn and spoke. "I activate Ancient Gear Hound Dog's effect! When my opponent controls a monster, I can deal 600 damage!"

Haruto quickly played a card. "Action Magic: Stand Up! If I would take effect damage, I can make the damage 0 and end your turn prematurely!" Haruto said and Red was surprised. "Where did you...?"

"When I was blown back, this happened to be there, now it's my turn!" Haruto drawn his card and looked to his hand of three and spoke. "it's time to take care of you three! I activate Ancient Rules, with this card, I'm able to Special Summon a Level 5 or higher monster from my hand, so take to the field, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Haruto called out as the familiar original dragon appeared.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon (LV 7/2400/2000)

"Now, I overlay my two Level 7 Red-Eyes Monsters!" Haruto called out as the two dragon's roared and became purple energy entering an Xyz vortex before exploding in a brilliant flash of light.

"Dragon with eternal flames, descend now and show the world your potential! Xyz Summon! Rank 7, Take flight! Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon!"

A dragon with a edgy metal sheen as it's wingspan was a dark crimson red but more notably, it's wings also had an exhaust port that blazed out orange fire like you'd see on a hog then it's dual tails also emitted a blazing orange fire, adorning the new dragon's chest was a dragon head while the dragon's spiky body from before was even more spikier and danger and it's mouth had a orange hue, ready to unleash its flames.

Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon (R 7/2800/2400/OU: 2)

"A Xyz remnant!?" Green said in surprise as Haruto stared at the three them, his eyes pink for a moment. "I activate his effect! Once per turn. I detach an overlay unit and with it, I can bring back 1 Normal Red-Eyes monster in my Graveyard, I have Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning in my graveyard but that's not who I'm going to bring back at this moment, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon as a overlay unit rests in my Graveyard and instead, I'll revive him, so come on back!" Haruto called out as his signature dragon soon returned.

"Then I activate Pot of Greed, this card allows me to draw two cards from my deck and I Normal Summon the Tuner monster, Maiden with Eyes of Red from my hand!" Haruto stated as beside him, a flash of light appeared and beside him was a black haired woman with like Kushina Uzumaki as her face was lightly freckled, her eyes were a striking crimson red while her garb was normal brown skirt that has Red-Eyes Black Dragon etched in on the sides.

"A Tuner monster now!?" Green said in surprise as Haruto spoke, his eyes turning orange for a second before becoming brown "I tune my Level 7 Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon with Level 1 Maiden with Eyes of Red!" Haruto declared as the Maiden flown up and became one Green Synchro Ring as Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon flown into it, becoming seven white stars before a flash of light occurred.

"With a Maiden's prayer, the Black Dragon evolves to new heights! Synchro Summon! Descend from the sky and show us your new power! Level 8! Red-Eyes Spirit Dragon!"

Emerging from the light was a much more improved version of the ordinary Red-Eyes, it's wingspan was completely see-through while it's head's horns were more spikier and it's body had additional scales, almost like a ribcage while it's claws and feet were more sharpened but slimmer and finally, it's tail being more scaly.

Red-Eyes Spirit Dragon (LV 8/2800/2000)

"I activate Dragon's Mirror from my hand, this card allows me to banish monsters from my graveyard to Fusion Summon! I target my Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning!" Haruto said as the Yellow took a hesitant step back. "Fusion too?!"

"Dragon with Eyes of Red, become one with the Fiend that caries your namesake! Fusion Summon! Level 9! Descend and show us your power! Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!"

Haruto placed the card on the disk and clasped his hands together when he chanted as the vortex shone and from it, emerged a dragon's head with dark red eyes that was dark grey while it's jaw was bone white and similar to Archfiend of lighting's and it's shoulders were Archfiend of Lightning's skulls breathing out orange fire endlessly and two more on the back of it's neck, it's body was rather a muscular dark orange like Archfiend of Lightning's with a white rib cage but right down the middle was a dark grey colouring and scales of Red-Eyes, cascading down to lead to begin connected to a tail that had the same dark orange skin in-between the joints, it's knee pads were pronged dragon's, it's claws being talons much like red-Eyes Black Flares with the dark grey sheen and it's feet that of Archfiend of Lightning's.

Archfiend Black Skull Dragon (LV9/3200/2500)

"Now I activate one of my face-down Trap cards, Dragon's Fury, if I control 3 Dragon-type monsters, I can destroy all cards on my opponent's side of the field and deal 300 Damage to your LP for many Levels each monsters has, whoever in exchange, I cannot attack directly this turn." Haruto declared as Archfiend Black Skull Dragon, Red-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon gave off a unison roar as the Hound Dog's and Fusion trench were destroyed as Red took 900 for his level 3, and the other two, 2100 for their level 7's.

Obelisk Force Red: 3100
Obelisk Force Yellow: 1900
Obelisk Force Green: 1900
Haruto: 400

"I activate my other face-down Trap, Unison Attack! This card halves the ATK of all my monsters I control and combines their halved ATK power into one all out attack! Attack the Obelisk Force directly! Crimson Nova Blast!" Haruto called out as the three Dragon's reared their heads back and let loose their flamethrowers, melding into one before it scorched through the Obelisks who fell unconscious as they disappeared in a flash of blue light.

Obelisk Force Red: 0
Obelisk Force Yellow: 0
Obelisk Force Green: 0
Haruto: 400

Haruto breathed as Sora jumped down from a hole in the subway as Serena reconsigned Sora. "You're... from that time...!" as Sora approached her and Serena waved an arm to get him away. "Get away! I wont' go back to the Academia!"

"No, I didn't come here to take you back!" Sora protested and Serena looked at the youth. "Don't lie!" and Sora responded. "It's true that back then, I went to the Standard Dimension because I was ordered by the Professor to bring you back. But now it''s different."

"What is different?!" Serena asked him and Sora looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'm... your ally!" and a new voice sounded in the subway. "Oh? So then that means you betrayed the Professor?" and everyone looked to the source of the voice that belonged to a male wearing a purple uniform with a dark reddish cape but his face looked very similar to Yuya and Yugo's.

"The same face as me!" Yuya said and Haruto recognized this person, that voice was familiar to him somehow until he recalled it.

-Flashback-

"What's the matter? Do you like playing tag?" The robed person asked with a deep tone, indicating it was a male as Haruto noted the ruins surrounding him which served to block his path and he noted the purple eyes and purple Duel Disk that was used against the girl he apparently was.

Another one appeared where the same robed person was in the Commons in a Duel, and soon his vision returned to normal

-Abandoned Subway-

Haruto was brought back to his senses as the new arrival spoke "the two of you have committed treason against the Professor, so I will be apprehending the both of you." the newcomer said moving a hand as three more Obelisk Force members as one commanded a Ancient Gear Hound Dog to tower over them.

"Now then... just capturing you wont' be any fun... so want to play a little." and Haruto asked a question, standing protectively in front of Serena. "Just... who are you?"

"Yuri... now I'd like to duel you." Yuri said to Serena and Serena looked at him. "Duel... me?" and Yuri laughed. "Oh right, you can't? It looks like you can't even stand!" Yuri pointed out and looked at Sora. "Then will you Duel in her place? Though for you, it'll be more of an execution than a arrest since dragging you back seems a hassle."

"I'll Duel you then!" Haruto spoke up, prepared to activate his Duel Disk until Yugo's voice was heard. "I found you, you smug bastard!" as Yugo came through on his Runner through a window. "This time, you won't get away! Duel me!"

"You again? You're really persistent aren't you? I'm a bit busy right now, so I'll deal with you later..." as Yugo cut him off. "Shut up! Do you even understand how long I've waited for this moment! Ever since you kidnapped Rin that day...!"

"That was just my job, you know. There's no point in hating me so much for what I'm ordered to do." and Yugo asked immediately. "An order?! From who!?" as Yuri responded. "The Professor obviously. That is true now as well, I have bring back Serena immediately.

"Huh Serena?" Yugo asked, noticing the other occupants just now and saw her. "What are you doing here?Didn't you lose to me and got taken underground?" Yugo asked her.

"Lost? I see... that's it. Then you'll do just fine." Yuri said to Yugo as Sora's arm was in Ancient Gear Hound Dog's jaw. "By the way, Obelisk Force, you aren't allowed to act on your own." as the Obelisks responded. "yes sir!" and Yuri continued.

"I will bring back Serena, so just sit there and wait patiently." Yuri said as Haruto stood ready to defend her and Reira but he was sweating a bit. "I can't help Yuya right now, not with Reira exhausted and Serena barely able to move at all." Haruto thought to himself as Yugo immediately Summoned Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. And Haruto noticed a flashing coming from Serena's bracelet.

"The bracelet... again." Serena said before Yuri was chanting

"Two beautiful flowers with a deadly alluring fragrance! Join together and and create a new terror from the hell that lies beneath your petals! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Poison dragon with hungering fangs! Level 8! Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!"

Starve Venon Fusion Dragon (LV 8/2800/2000)

From the vortex appeared a purple and green dragon with red and yellow orbs while it's wings had teeth and it's legs as saliva dripped down the jaws as Haruto looked at the menacing dragon and Serena spoke. "Th-that's!" Serena said as the flashing from Serena's bracelet was much more quickly as Haruto noted something.

"Is it me or... are the Dragon's... acting strangely? Haruto said, looking to the Four Dragons as Haruto noted the strange aura around Yuya who spoke out in a strangled voice. "We have waited, for this time... Now... Now is the time for our revival! We become one." as Yuya, Yugo and Yuri spoke in synchronization. As Haruto looked up, the sky was the colours of green, blue, orange and purple, and swirling like a vortex.

"Yuya!" Yuzu's came as she called out and a bright pink flash of light occurred as a powerful shock wave came out of nowhere and Yuya slammed into the ceiling before crashing tot he ground as Yuzu ran up to him and Yuya looked to her.

"Yuzu... why are you here?!" Yuya asked and Barrett spoke. "Hiiragi Yuzu, there's no point in continuing this Duel! You both are to come with me to the Professor " as Yuya spoke. "That's not happening, I won't let you have Yuzu!" as Haruto joined him. "Or Serena!"

Haruto watched as the duel continued, with Sergey's interruption and the surprising Summoning method of Synchro Summoning and Fusion Summoning at the same time and Barrett's swift destruction and Barrett pressed a button and Haruto reacted. "Serena!" Haruto reached out to grab her and get her out the way only to go right through the blue particles, Serena was spirited away by Barrett.

"No...!" Haruto clenched his fists before the Duel had won in Sergey's favour and Yuzu was kidnapped by the man. "We lost them both... dammit!" as the only ones left were him, Tsukikage, Yuya, Sora and Reira.


And with that Chapter 20 is done! I didn't do the whole Duel with Yuya, Barrett, Yugo and Yuri because well, that's canon and well, the focus was Haruto's participation, next Chapter will be Jack vs Sergey and Chapter 21... well, it's the Finals of the Friendship Cup!

I hope to see the Reviews, Favourites of both Story and Authors and hope to see you all again... next time!
